Seven Students Killed as Delhi Hostel Building Collapses

SOUTH DELHI: (News Desk) – Seven students have been killed after a five-storey private hostel building collapsed in South Delhi, according to Indian authorities.

Rescue teams recovered two more bodies from the rubble, raising the confirmed death toll to seven. Officials said 11 people have so far been rescued, while an estimated 30 to 50 students are feared to remain trapped beneath the debris.

A large-scale search and rescue operation is underway as emergency teams continue efforts to locate those still missing.
